Amateur needs help re: contact form using form builder.

Post by CaptainBob »

Hi Guys,

Can I start by saying that I am a complete amateur that probably shouldn't be here. The last time I wrote any code was 1996 and I have forgotten just about everything.

I cam across CMSMS version 1.11.10 when it came installed from my webhosting company. I have managed to fluke my way around it to get it to do what I want except a contact email form.

I tried to create something in formbuilder, that would require First & last name, email address, phone, message text box and the option of attaching a file. I should then receive this information in addition to having the sender's ip address appear in the email.

1. I am not sure I have done this right.
2. How would I then show and test this form on the website? What code needs to go into which file/page etc?

Thanks to anyone who read this and a bigger thanks to anyone who can help.

I think the exact code to paste into a content page or page template is shown in FormBuilder main window: {FormBuilder form="whatever_name_you_gave_it"}

Why don't you use and adapt the contact form that comes with FormBuilder?

How awesome are you guys?

I got the form to display, just working on formatting and getting it to work/send the email.

I am happy to come to some arrangement if any of you would be willing to help me out.

Thanks
